If ‘The Final Gauntlet’ is anything to go by, Donny Cates is not wasting time with his fresh take on Marvel’s premier space oddities. It’s been an opening arc of blockbuster scale and thrills, easily establishing this as the most interesting volume of “Guardians of the Galaxy” since Abnett and Lanning’s seminal run of the mid noughties.

She faces increasing pressure to pack up shop from a boyfriend who is lightyears away and a traveller named Micah (Mackie) who turns up on her doorstep in a hot air balloon. As you do.

Walking down Wicker on a cloudy winter day is a bleak experience. Just outside the city centre, it’s jarring how abruptly Sheffield transforms from bustling shopping location to the epitome of high street woe.

Tradition dictates that at the end of the year any critic worth their salt should (nay, must) throw together a list of the top ten movies they saw in the last twelve months. Well, I’ll do you one better. Here you’ll find every single film I saw this year ranked from the very worst to the very best.
